You know what I'm talkin about. Whether it's a necromorph coming out of nowhere or using the RYNO for the first time, we've all had one of those moments in a game that makes you think that the game is good, bad, or an improvement over the sequel.

For me, it was like the first time we see grown up Jak in Jak 2 Renegade. Not only does the game switch from fluffy kiddy dream land to GTA with future guns, flying cars, rebellions, gods, a plot that's deeper than it seems and an awesome set of characters. My biggest "holy shit" moment was when we see Jak, after 2 years of being tortured and pumped full of dark eco, and how he went from like a 14-year old boy with a big destiny to a 20-year old badass with a hitlist. Not only is this a huge persona change, IT'S THE FIRST TIME HE SPEAKS! And it's his choice of words that made me go," holy shit." He didn't say," Dax is that you?" or "whose there!?" it was something much more darker and a lot more awesome.

Dax: Jak for once in ya life say something!
*Jak wakes up
Jak:I'm gonna kill Praxus!!

HO-LEE SHIT! We went from plucky boy to a badass that has high probability of curbstomping Praxus. I'm not talking about the trope on how much of a badass a hero he is and how much of walk in the park it is to beat Praxus. No. I can imagine Jak taking Praxus out of whatever mechanical monstrosity he's using try to kill Jak, dragging him to the first step of Praxus's palace, placing his teeth on the concrete steps and either blowing his brains out or just the classic curbstomp. I know, real gritty, but for me that was like kid to adult in 5 minutes. I still have the Jak 2 and 3 games, mainly cuz they kick more ass than the first and that they kind of sent me of message of," it's time for big boy pants," with the once plucky farm boy making an oath of vengeance on someone he barely knew.

What was yours, awesome gun, deep twist, monster outta nowhere? Tell us and I implore the use of clips of you like.


(could someone plz find me the Jak 2 intro plz, I know nothing on uploading clips or photos)

The confrontation in Ryan's office in Bioshock. Of course I can't say what it is because it's spoilertastic, but if you've played Bioshock (and if you haven't then what the hell is keeping you?) then you know what I'm talking about.

Ok, I know it's a pretty old game, but the storyline of Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri Still gives me chills. The moment it clicked that in fact the ENTIRE PLANET was sentient and trying to talk to you, I remember actually having to get up and go outside for a bit, such was the enormity of the "Holy Crap" moment. It's for that reason that that game is still one of my favourites, more than ten years after I originally played it.

Umm for me EVERY ending in 9 Hours,9 Persons,9 Doors, each either killed me off gruesomely,or had a shocking revelation revealed
for example,in the true ending you find out Akane/June was Zero the whole time and was using you to save her past self from the incenerator by using the morphogenetic field (I think that's what it' called) to communicate with you and figure out the final puzzle.

The whole super-gravity-gun sequence in Half-Life 2 made for a good climax.

Also, pretty much the ending segments of ANY Ace Attorney game, with the exception of Apollo Justice.

OT: The first time you step out of the Vault in F3 is pretty amazing.

I know most people have had this ruined for them in some way or another, but I didn't know it would happen when I first played. Aerith's death in FF7. And I was using her as one of my party members up until that point...

Serius?I though that hole thing of Phoenix start speaking to the player and in the end you discover that it's not the player he's talking but yes Apollo and Trucy's mother(Don't remember her name) pretty mindfucking.

A game who made go "HOLY CRAP" was when Kefka blow up half world in Final Fantasy VI, that was awesome... HE BLOW UP HALF OF THE WORLD! Did Sephirot succeed in blowing up the world? No? Then Kefka is the most awesome Final Fantasy villain!
